Hi, I had a baby on 3rd June 2012 and I a, still nursing him. My first period has not yet started and so I have got the Beta HCG Serum test done today (18th Oct 2012).

Please let me kmow. Thanks.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The levels of beta HCG at 0.10 are too low to indicate a pregnancy. You can be sure of diagnosis by getting the test done again after 10 days. Rising levels will indicate pregnancy.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
